The United Way of Larimer County wants you to vote to make a difference for Larimer County's Make a Difference Day.

The Larimer County Make a Difference Day is one of five finalists for the 2013 All-Star Award, which recognizes a previous National Make a Difference Day Award honoree. Larimer County, a participant in MDD for 13 years, was honored in 2009.

"We're just thrilled to be nominated, because it brings attention to all the amazing volunteers in Larimer County," said Kate Hagdorn, spokesperson for the United Way of Larimer County.

"What makes Larimer County's Make a Difference Day special is that not just one organization benefits, we have a hundred projects that support dozens of nonprofits across our county."

In 2012, 2,700 volunteers donated more than 11,000 hours through MDD, which for the county is a weeklong event.

"This is an excellent opportunity for all of the amazing and generous volunteers in our community to be recognized on a national level," Hagdorn said.

The others honorees for the All-Star Award are in Connecticut, Florida, Pennsylvania and Texas.
